  1. 3 year ownership report: 2022 Lightning Lariat ER

    My 22 Plat with nearly 36K on the ODO has been doing OK as well, however as you noted the sun/moon roof is annoying. I really wish I could have spec'd without it but it wasn't a choice for my trim level.
  2. May need to get rid of my F150L

    Thank you all for your help, encouragement and support in this. It really means a lot.
  3. May need to get rid of my F150L

    Of course it is, but I rather have some sort of backup plan too. Which is why I am asking for ideas.
  4. May need to get rid of my F150L

    While I am being optimistic that I can find another IT job, I know a number of ex colleagues who are still looking for a job from another RIF. While unemployment does help, it won’t pay enough for everything else we have. So I am trying to be proactive as possible.
  5. May need to get rid of my F150L

    To my dismay, I may have no choice but to get rid of F150L soon since I am losing my job in a few months. I know I can extend the FMC loan, and I have done that before, but I don’t want to do that anymore. The trade-in value of this truck is not the best so I will be seriously upside down. So I...
  6. Google maps with Carplay now integrated with driver display for some. Possible "fix" is in post 40.

    I was the one who reported this initially in the other thread, and I use it often to say this isn’t a fluke. My phone has been plugged in charging, and not plugged in… all worked fine wirelessly.
  7. Footprint of 131Kwh battery vs 98 kw battery

    It seems that way. Smaller battery and therefore smaller buffer. Also, IMHO, less battery longevity.
  8. 2026 F-150 Lightning STX Model Introduced. Replaces the XLT

    Being a current owner, I wouldn't mind some of the flashy graphics and maybe the metal running boards. However in some ways I kind of prefer not being a walking billboard. I remember lots of times, the looks I received from my truck were due to the front trunk and not due to the Lightning emblem...
  9. Range? What's the effect on range of various MPH?

    Maybe it could be the springs and the shocks (which are different on the Platinum) but I find the ride really bumpy and all over the place. I test drove my friends BMW iX yesterday, and the ride so much smoother and less harsh.
  10. Footprint of 131Kwh battery vs 98 kw battery

    I remember having this conversation with a Ford rep at the NYIAT. He thought I had 2 heads when I told him that the F150L ER had a battery pack size of 143.4kWh with only 131kWh usable.
  11. Range? What's the effect on range of various MPH?

    It was out of context, but it was the truth and I felt I would give my 2 cents on the current topic. While I personally have never directly counseled Eagles since I only been a ASM for ~2 years, seeing these scouts grow and mature is very rewarding for me personally. Anyway, I degress...
  12. Range? What's the effect on range of various MPH?

    Being in the BSA, I opt to not to take my F150L for longer trips. At times, I usually have 2-3 scouts with me while driving, and while I believe they would be fine I don't like to stop for a long session with others not in my family. If I was with my family however, I would have no issues.
  13. Strut/Shock - when do replace?

    Besides the slight boat feeling since I am in a truck, I don't think the stock strut/shock are doing a bad job (especially with the slightly higher rate springs on the Platinum) but I wish it was better. That being said, when does everyone recommend replacing them? I have only 34K on the truck...
  14. 22” Platinum wheels to 20s

    I also am debating on going to 20s as well since I will be needing tires in the next 10K or so. In regards to the spring rates, I brought this up initially along time ago and I always wondered the same. I am posting it here again (cause I always seem to have a hard time finding it). Besides it...
  15. Lease Buy-Out……. Yes or No?

    While I love the truck, I wish I leased vs purchased. Several years ago, I was a in a different financial position and could have easily afforded this truck. Now its a different story, and what I owe vs what its worth is way too far apart.
  16. 100,000 miles in 27 months.

    I feel like my truck is baby compared to everyone. My truck is over 3 years (July 2022) and it has 34K on it.
  17. Empty coolant reservoir

    When I had my battery module replaced, I had the same issue. I went to the dealer a few weeks later, and they added a little bit to the reservoir and its been stable since. As others have said, air will works it way though the system and it will eventually use the reservoir.
  18. Instrument panel now shows navigation for Google Maps?

    Very odd... I currently have Google Maps version 25.33.2, but this started back on 25.32.0 or 25.30.0. I just used it this weekend, like I normally do, and I get the IP navigation. The latest update that I received from Ford was the BC 1.4, so may have something to do with it as well. Like a...
